The Castro Campus was founded in 1983 as an educational center for San Francisco’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender communities, and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies curriculum. Outreach to these communities continues to be an essential part of the campus’ mission. Over the last twenty years, the educational offerings have expanded to serve a broad range of students with diverse educational needs from all of San Francisco’s communities. Classes include English, Foreign Languages, Visual and Performing Arts, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Physical Education, college and career planning, Health, and Astronomy courses. The campus was established by faculty and staff who wanted to create a learning environment that respects, celebrates, and profits from diversity and consistently offers quality educational opportunities; their vision continues to guide the Castro Campus.
